At Home Spa for Less

Over the last few months, I've become obsessed with bodycare products. There's just something about applying and using products that smell heavenly and then last on you. I have a serious issue with getting perfume to last on me all day, to counter this I have found that using products that soak into my body are much better for me. There is a whole basket in my room that is full with different soaps, creams and bath bombs, all ready to use depending on my mood and I just take whatever I fancy that day. One range that I have been loving recently is The Body Shop Spa of the World Range, not only do I love using each individual product in the morning but at the weekend I use all of them together to give me that at home spa experience. 

Being a Girlboss

 There's a line if Stormzy's part in Power by Little Mix that really catches me every time, he says that you can be a woman and a boss and wear the trousers, at the same time. At first I didn't really think about it much but when you hear it over and over again as a super fan of the group you actually start to listen to the words and it made me realise that what he is saying is the truth. Let's take the term girl boss for example, a word that has being coined to describe someone who has dreams, are the boss of their own life and are true to themselves. It is a term that I love and admire. To be a girl boss you have to feel like one and for me that comes down to my surroundings and look. 

Swoon Worthy Eyeshadows

I'm in the process of moving student houses and as I go into my third year, I've decided to down size on everything that I own including makeup. Whilst doing this, I've rediscovered some old favourites, most of which are in the eyeshadow department. Since owning the ABH Modern Renaissance palette I haven't really used much else shadow wise but that is all about to change because these rose gold/gold beauties are incredible. 

The Ultimate Summer Party

 This year, I really want to have a garden party! Decorate the back garden all fancy with fairy lights and flowers, a nice array of food, music and of course people. This is of course all in my head because British weather is never something you can guarantee, so I could plan everything and then it would rain on the day and everything would be over. Instead, I've planned everything in my head and on pinterest so that I can be prepared for when I can rely on the weather and throw this summer party - everything from makeup and outfit to decorations and food. You are all, also invited. 

The Daring Highlighter

I'm not one for buying and using makeup that is quite 'out there', I tend to stick with what I know works and everything that is nude. However, I do love experimenting from time to time and this summer seems like the perfect time to do just that! On a quick trip to Superdrug the other day to pick up a few essentials, I spotted the Makeup Revolution stand. One of the many brands now under the TAM Beauty umbrella. They release new products almost every week, sometimes I love the look of them and sometimes I skip. In my local store they had just had a delivery of the new products that have been launched this week, ombre highlighters (will appear next week) and this gorgeous highlighter.              

Makeup Be Gone with Magnitone

        I've only ever mentioned it like a thousand times but my skin is a real battle. I've suffered with breakouts, oil and dryness for as long as I can remember. One week my skin is perfect and on the road to recovery, the next its horrible. For the past few weeks I've been able to balance it out using some incredible products that aren't skincare products but tools. Both of the tools are from Magnitone a brand that understands that everyone has different skin and create products that are suitable for all, even those with sensitive skin.
